Surprise makeover for mom of two

Style pro Kyan Douglas surprised a 'Rachael Ray' audience member and offered to give her a makeover right in the TV studio.

She agreed to cut her long locks and was excited to update her "mom" look to something more stylish. "I would love it, it would be so fun," Joanna Candy said. With two children under the age of two, she doesn't have a lot of time to primp, and admits she's generally always stuck with pretty basic haircuts. Now, she's giving Kyan free reign to transform her entire look.

Before ...

After!

When showing Rachael the new 'do, Joanna was thrilled. The bob haircut Kyan suggested is a great option for anyone looking for something that is easy to maintain.

"She can literally get out of the shower, air dry and go," Kyan explains. Plus, this shorter cut is a clever way for a busy mom like Joanna to look more rested. "

"You're not getting a lot of sleep? Don't wear your hair very long, because it really does pull your face down," Kyan advised.

Regardless what hype these biased hair stylists talk about, they ruined a very attractive look when they cut off that beautiful long hair, but what would we expect from them while justifying a tragic mistake to the public audience?

Good grief--I am glad she likes it---I think it aged her- a lot---and the clothes, awful!!!! As far as shorter hair being easier to care for, no way-- I had five kids under 6 and always had long hair --a pony tail takes seconds, a braid a bit longer and I figured out to do two different chignons that took very little time and only used three long bobby pins----Of course the make-over person always wants to cut long hair,--- long hair is bad for business! Rachael, Rachael ---stick to cooking!

I like the long hair. It made her look innocent compared to the older look. Not saying second look is a bad style. In my opinion it wasn't for her. Her long hair was beautiful and I am sure she misses it. It will grow back. Bet she won't get that style again.
